As beautiful as the black & white kitchen is, it is just not me. The other 2 are more my taste . The bottom one has more my style of floor plan. I love the layout and the openess as well as the colors, floor and countertops.

I love them all! The first is really unique! Can you tell me what color the walls are in the third pic? I have cabinets a little bit lighter than those shown and at a loss as to what to paint the walls. I have black counter tops.

Elaine, it looks as though the walls are a color picked out of the flooring color. That would most likely be a good start for you to look at as well in choosing your wall color. Then everything should coordinate very well.

Our floor tile is just kind of a plain beige. I have dark brown leather furniture and I have bought a rug for the living room. The living room, dining and kitchen are all open to each other. I wanted to use one of the colors in the rug but I have honey

colored cabinets in the kitchen and if I pull the gold from the rug, it might make the cabinets look icky. I was thinking of a green (not minty, can't stand that color) but more of a yellow green. Here are some pics so you can get the idea of what I have. Right now, everything is builder beige. We are moving this coming week after selling my house in Iowa. That is why there is nothing on walls etc. in the house we are moving to. I do have a good stopping point by the frig if I want to do the wall where the dining room is and the wall above the cabinets a different color than the rest. I have fabric that I plan on making into drapes for the sliding glass door that goes out to our patio and the fabric is a stripe with all the colors of the rug.

I tend to be the bold type so I'd do the kitchen walls and the one dining room wall with the red from the rug. You would have a major splash of color but not in a really large area. But that's just me. Good luck on the process. It can be daunting but

paint is an easy fix and can be changed fairly quickly. We are in the process of moving to a different home and will be redoing our kitchen so I know the stress involved.

That is exactly what I wanted to do when people turned up their nose on the idea.....well meaning friends lol. I think I will stay with my original idea. Thanks Kathleen! After I do the red, I will post again! It will be awhile since we have so much to

Yes, please send a pick. My kitchen is presently so bad I hesitate to send any before pics. But I might. It too will be a while. We have a lot to do that comes before gutting the kitchen. BTW, Our living room was red for several years and we loved it. We

We redid our kitchen except the backsplash since we've brought home a bazillion pieces of tile and can't decide on it. Our floor looks a lot like the second pic and we love it. I don't have our pics on our new operating system yet, but if anyone wants
